Hey guys,
I have a question about my new note 9 I bought recently. So I bought the phone which was described as a Tmobile unlocked note 9. I noticed the phone is on android 9 still and won't update via the software update or samsung switch PC app. Says I'm on the current version and no available updates. I decided to try and flash the newest update but when I looked at the software information, I saw the following:
One UI version
1.0
Android version
9
Baseband version
N960USQS3CSJ2
Kernel version
4.9.112-16352588
#2 Wed Oct 23 12:37:16 KST 2019
Build Number
PPR1.180610.011.N960USQS3CSJ2
Service Provider SW ver.
SAOMC_SM-N960U_OYN_TMN_PP_0019
28f15f89d33f7ece
TMB/TMB/SPR
So if i'm not mistaken, this phone is originally from Sprint? How should I go about flashing the newest android 10 firmware ? for future updates as well?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
It does seem that you have the Sprint model of the Note 9. If you cannot update the OS via OTA in the device. you would need to download the update from Sammobile and install it onto your device using Odin.

Thanks, that's what I plan on doing. Should I flash the Sprint or T-Mobile version of the update via Odin?

You can install either OS. Or the Samsung stock OS as all of those will run perfectly in the US variant of the Note 9

Hi guys,
I want to know how to update to latest oreo update with all the security patches.
I am following this how-to thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...w-to-install-android-oreo-snapdragon-t3716281 but in the OP the links are broken.
Can anyone update me on this?
The phone is from verizon but I didn't use it on verizon. I got this phone last November. Currently using on Cricket, so probably I don't get automatic updates from Verizon.
my note 8 info:
7.1.1
experience v. 8.5
security patch level Nov 1, 2017
Baseband v. N950USQS2BQK2
Thanks in advance.

I am unsure if you should be on a much newer filmware or not. Sometimes a factory reset can resolve OTA not coming through, this will delete the phone memory though, so back up your data.
You can also get official filmware from sammobile and updato. Just if you want to flash Oreo with Odin, make sure you use the latest version of Odin (3.13.1)

I am on Cricket and using Verizon note 8 that I got from last December. Last update was in November when I still have Verizon. After inserting Cricket sim card, there has never been an update anymore. I turned on Wifi and went into settings> software update to refresh, and there is no awaiting update. I didn't change to unlock firmware (as I do not know how). How do you go about installing the updates to latest Oreo using Odin? I am on 7.1.1 with build 2BQK2

I recommend that you try a factory reset to see if that pushes the OTA update.
If this fails, I will help you step by step with Odin.
I am looking for firmware files for SM-T707a to update my Tab to Android 6 but currently i am on Android 5.0.2 ( Baseband Version: T707AUCU1BOE4) . i am currently not in USA and looks like AT&T wont allow OTA updates if you are not using AT&T SIM , as i tried several times to check update and every thing it returned a message saying my TAB software is upto date. Now the only way for me to update my Tab is to do it manually and i am looking for firmware files with Baseband version: T707AUCU1BOE5 released on 13th Aug 2015 so that i can upgrade to Android 6 eventually. I got Android 6 firmware (odin files) from this forum but i am not able to get this intermediate firmware file( BOE5) to enable me to update to android 6. Can any one please help me with these firmware files or can anyone lemme know if i can safely upgrade directly to android 6 without this intermediate update ?
Need T707AUCU1CPK1
Hey guys. I updated using firmware.science to CSAA -- no issues at all. Now that the official OTA update is out, I want to get onto their update so I can get all future updates OTA. Does anyone know of a T-mobile CSAA to CSB3 update, or if not, what I need to revert back to in ODIN in order to get the OTA? Thanks for your time.
Theres an update on xda dev. For going to csaa to csb3. I did the same thing u did only on my verizon note 9. I don't think the update is brand specific because others have used it on different carriers.
Just put it on sd card and let it update the way you did the other one. Then you should be back to normal.

Flash it as is. No need to change the name of it to update.zip. That ended with Ice Cream Sandwich I believe.

If I were you I'd flash the stock USA u1 firmware on it. You can also use the PC based Samsung Smartswitch app to check and update firmware.

It likely has to do with the fact you're using it on a UK carrier and it's made for US carriers. Your best bet is to flash the unbranded U1 firmware.
Ok. Thanks for advice. Can I ask You to post link to newest u1 firmware I can flash? From what I read I am now on newest Pie firmware CSB3 for N960U. Is there U1 Pie version? Could not find any.

Download it with the SamFirm tool and flash it with patched ODIN
Many thanks for all your help. First of all I did factory reset. Than downloaded latest firmware through SamFirm (use [email protected] SM-N960U1 and Region: XAA) File: SM-N960U1_1_20190218084855_4mi2c0zg9o_fac
Than I downloaded Patched Odin v3.13.1 to flash firmware. Struggled initially with Odin ending up on ...SetupConnection.. <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1) but swapping usb cable from Samsung one to Google pixel xl genuine cable solved the problem and Odin finally started flashing procedure. Now just restoring through Smart Switch from backup. When going to Software update now in Settings it checks the Update and reports I am on newest one. So I am assuming it will download now any following OTA. Also got no Sprint or any other bloatware present. Happy days !!
